Hello!
Nice to find this site. I am new here. I quit drinking about 7 months ago. Last weekend I was at a dinner and had one glass of wine. Not a goblet. Just a normal size. I drank half of it. I did not crave it, and I did not desire any effect either. Honest. I just wanted to do something normal. Yes, I know. It was unnecessary but I also wanted to prove to myself that I could and that I wouldn't want any more and it really was over, the abuse of alcohol.
Well, it is. I didn't change anything. Back to the old 7 month person I was. However, something happened after 48hrs that stopped me in my medical tracks. Now I am worried-scared. My stools went diarrhea-GREY like clay again for an evening, exactly 48 hrs afterwards. I remember I had liver swelling when I stopped, and also had nausea beginning as well as really no appetite. That all changed immediately after I stopped but now one half glass tripped up my liver function again. Does this mean it's scarred, and not getting healthy? No I don't want to drink more and no I am not trying to find out if I can. I answered my own question last weekend but now I have a fear that my liver function-health is not reversing.
I have looked it up as much as i could online and no not yet called my doctor. But I also would like to know if anyone else has had this happen.
And no, I am not trying to find out if its okay to start up again. I don't want it. Yes, i wanted normalcy and to 'not have an abuse problem', and I pretty much got the answer I already knew would be there. No, that does not mean I will go out and drink again. It is never crossing my mind. It only did last week because I wanted to know, and suddenly. Then it left.
So, about the grey stools. Scary.
Any ideas? Good info links? I will call my doc on Monday but i never get all the information i feel I need. Good links out there?
Thank you guys.

Sorry I don't have any links but definitely call your Dr...and for what it's worth don't leave till you are satisfied you have all the info you need. Bring a list of questions and make sure you get answers.

You really need to speak to your Doctor - we can't give out medical advice here, DoingOk.
I know you want to know, but stay off Dr Google too.
My uneducated guess? the likelihood is you're fine

Thank you!
My worry is because (as I forgot to proof-read so I didn't realize I had left it out) I had had grey stools for a while before quitting.
Never before, never unless alcohol was in the picture.
My Doc is going to brain me.
